It's not a perfect world, but I think we can come close. Could we perhaps create a database of such books, similar to the database we have for soundtracks? Each book could get a page with author, title, links to Amazon (and GoogleBooks, for samples and library info) and maybe member-written reviews. I know we have a sort of database for DVDs with score features. Maybe this would be similar.

I think it's a great idea! I have had thoughts along these lines as well – when I go window-shopping for OSTs at Amazon, I frequently get "soundtrack books" in the related links, not just CDs. And I agree, for a book db the entries could also be formatted similar to the albums here, so that the pages display shopping links back to Amazon (or wherever) and SST could get a little commission revenue on soundtrack-related print material, as it does already with music.
